Housing for protecting and masking a toilet bowl and a toilet bowl provided therewith

Abstract

The invention relates in particular to a housing for protecting and masking a toilet bowl whose top part is provided with a peripheral inwardly folded edge which delimits with the bowl a water distribution channel and which is characterized in that it consists of a body ( 30 ) and a cover part ( 32 ) which is open in the center thereof, is independent of said body ( 30 ) and is arrangeable on the body in such a way that it covers the peripheral edge ( 11 ) of the bowl, wherein the body ( 30 ) is provided with an anchoring part ( 5 ) interacting with the cover part ( 32 ) and said anchoring and cover ( 32 ) parts comprise complementarily shaped connecting means ( 51, 330 ).

1. A protection and masking housing for a toilet bowl pan having a peripheral edge at the upper part that defines a water distribution channel comprising:
 a body ( 30 ) and a removable by disengagement covering part ( 32 ) open in its center, independent of said body ( 30 ), positioned on said body, and configured to cover the peripheral edge ( 11 ) of a toilet bowl pan; 
 wherein said body ( 30 ) is equipped with an anchoring part ( 5 ) which reversibly interconnects with said removable covering part ( 32 ), wherein said connection ( 51 ,  330 ) comprises a ball-joint and corresponding bearing with a complementary curved shape and wherein the covering part ( 32 ) is equipped with a pivot-type block ( 34 ) which when inserted into a notch ( 511 ) configured in the ball joint ( 51 ), allows the covering part ( 32 ) to enter into vertical rotation in the axis of the pivot-type block ( 34 ) and when not inserted allows for the removal of the covering part ( 32 ) by vertical rotation in the axis of the pivot-type block ( 34 ) until disengagement. 
 
     
     
       2. A housing according to  claim 1 , wherein said housing is approximately a “U” shape, wherein two wings ( 301 ) extend from one side of the toilet bowl pan ( 1 ) to the other, wherein the ends of said wings are linked by a junction element ( 31 ) which may project above the upper outline (P) of said body ( 30 ), whereby this junction element ( 31 ) forms a support for said anchoring part ( 5 ). 
     
     
       3. A housing according to  claim 2 , wherein said junction element ( 31 ) has a surface ( 312 ) capable of coming into contact with a partition wall to creating a connection between said junction element and said partition wall. 
     
     
       4. A housing according to  claim 1 , wherein said anchoring part ( 5 ) constitutes the base of a water cistern ( 54 ) supplying said toilet bowl pan ( 1 ) and/or a cupboard ( 55 ). 
     
     
       5. A housing according to  claim 1 , wherein said housing  30  is supported on a trapezoid anchoring baseplate ( 7 ). 
     
     
       6. A housing according to  claim 1 , wherein said covering part ( 32 ) has at least one bearing ( 331 ) in the shape of a gutter. 
     
     
       7. An assembly consisting of:
 a toilet bowl pan, with a peripheral edge ( 11 ), which interconnects with a housing according to  claim 1 . 
 
     
     
       8. An assembly according to  claim 7 , wherein said edge ( 11 ) constitutes a distinctive part of said bowl ( 10 ). 
     
     
       9. An assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein said edge ( 11 ) and said bowl ( 10 ) each possess at least one notch ( 114 ,  120 ) positioned facing each other, when connected, and a water inlet pipe ( 210 ) inserted into the pair of notches.
